Totally shook me up, I'm about 6 miles from the epicenter. Can't remember one being that big for a bit. Supposedly the big one is over due. Sh!t.

that's right behind my house. I was at my girl's place in San Jose when it hit - shook pretty good. Went home this morning to make sure everything was fine..few things actually fell out of my closet but otherwise everything is fine.

I also didn't have cell phone reception for the longest time last night.
